It occurs when the lower esophageal sphincter (LES)-a ring of muscle at the bottom of the esophagus-relaxes inappropriately or weakens, allowing stomach contents to flow back into the esophagus. This backward flow is called&nbsp;<strong>acid reflux<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While occasional acid reflux is common, GERD is diagnosed when reflux occurs frequently (more than twice a week) and causes significant discomfort or damage to the esophagus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-symptoms-of-gerd\"><strong>Symptoms of GERD<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The symptoms of GERD can vary in severity and may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Heartburn<\/strong>: A burning sensation in the chest, usually after eating, that may worsen at night or when lying down.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Regurgitation<\/strong>: Sour or bitter-tasting acid backing up into your throat or mouth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)<\/strong>: Feeling like food is stuck in your throat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chest pain<\/strong>: In some cases, GERD can cause discomfort that feels similar to a heart attack.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chronic cough<\/strong>: Especially at night or after eating.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sore throat<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0<strong>hoarseness<\/strong>: Due to acid irritating the vocal cords.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Asthma-like symptoms<\/strong>: Wheezing or shortness of breath triggered by acid reflux.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nausea<\/strong>: Particularly after meals or when lying down.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If these symptoms persist or worsen, it&#8217;s important to seek medical advice, as untreated GERD can lead to serious complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Causes and Risk Factors of GERD<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Several factors can contribute to the development of GERD, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Weak or Relaxed Lower Esophageal Sphincter (LES)<\/strong>: The LES acts as a valve between the stomach and the esophagus. When it fails to close properly, stomach acid can flow back into the esophagus.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hiatal Hernia<\/strong>: A condition where a part of the stomach bulges through the diaphragm into the chest cavity, increasing the risk of reflux.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Obesity<\/strong>: Excess weight puts pressure on the abdomen, which can force stomach contents into the esophagus.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pregnancy<\/strong>: Hormonal changes and pressure on the abdomen from the growing uterus can trigger GERD.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Smoking<\/strong>: Smoking weakens the LES and impairs the esophagus ability to clear acid.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Alcohol and Certain Foods<\/strong>: Foods such as citrus, spicy foods, chocolate, and fried or fatty foods, as well as alcohol, can trigger reflux.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Medications<\/strong>: Certain medications, including anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), calcium channel blockers, and sedatives, can relax the LES and contribute to GERD.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/medcare.okadoc.com\/en-ae\/doctor\/gastroenterologist\/dubai\/amal-premchandra-upadhyay\">Book an Appointment<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is GERD?
